Russian police choir performs Daft Punk's Get Lucky

Members of the Russian police force show off a sense of humour - or could that
be lack of self-awareness - with an unlikely rendition of Daft Punk's summer
hit, Get Lucky

It may seem an unlikely choice of song for Russia's tough police force, but this video shows the Russian Folk Song and Dance Ensemble of the Interior Ministry singing Get Lucky by French duo Daft Punk.

The video has received 1.5 million views since it was posted on YouTube on November 7, and shows an all-male choir wearing green police uniforms singing and dancing along to the summer hit song that contains sexual themes.

While some remain staunchly serious, others smile broadly as though enjoying the joke.

Some viewers have received the video as a spoof, but others have commented that the performance has disgraced the police profession.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs confirmed that the choir was rehearsing the song for a concert celebrating the Day of Police in the Kremlin, but the song was replaced by another piece for the concert on November 10.

Get Lucky became Daft Punk's first UK No 1 single on 28 April 2013 remaining at number one for 4 weeks. The Spotify music streaming website reported that the song is the most-streamed new song in the service's history.
